Proudly Australian Owned
Stress-free school pickups start with a tag.
DuraKid makes durable after-school reminder bag tags for Australian school routines, helping children, parents, teachers and carers quickly see OOSH, OSHC, parent pickup and home bus plans at a glance.
We've witnessed it all: destinations scribbled on arms, tearful children who missed the bus, and tags that crack, fade, or fall off after a week in the Aussie sun. There had to be a better way.
Built Tough
Designed to withstand backpacks thrown on the ground and sun-soaked bus lines.
Saves Time
Teachers instantly know where a child needs to be. No more double-checking.
Clear Directions
Easily indicate OOSH, bus, parent pickup, or walking home.
Simple Process
How DuraKid Works
Three simple steps to a more organised morning routine.
1
Attach to Bag
Use the secure carabiner clip to attach the tag to your child's backpack zipper or handle.
2
Select Destination
Choose or swap to the correct tag for the day's after-school routine — takes seconds.
3
Stress-Free Pickup
Teachers instantly recognise the colour and icon, guiding your child safely.
